FOREWORD
Waterford can trace its origins back to the third century when the King of Munster granted the Desii, lands from the Suir to the sea and from Lismore to Creaden Head, embracing almost all the present County of Waterford. In the 9th century the Vikings came to Waterford and these are two of the key significant events in history that give Waterford its sense of place.
Heritage is all about People and Place. In 2015 President Michael D. Higgins marking the 20th anniversary of the Heritage Council commented;
“It is important….to have an integrated approach that offers a connection between what people are trying to do and place. It offers benefits of enabling and empowering local communities to use heritage to improve their sense of wellbeing and quality of life”.
“And I would urge .....to reflect on a debate that is now opening up on the importance of the public space in our heritage and in our futures. By this I mean the importance of public spaces, such as parks, and squares and walks; public buildings such as libraries, concerts, churches, halls, theatres; festivals, markets, even. These are all key elements of our heritage: people talking, living, conversing together, rowing together if necessary, but in the public world.”
The Waterford Heritage Plan 2017-2022 recognises the mutually beneficial relationship between people and place. Human activity through the establishment of ancient burials and places of worship, farming of the landscape and development of urban centres has created a legacy of archaeological, built, cultural and natural heritage. It is what sets us apart from other places. This plan highlight the sense of well being and purpose that can be gained from investing in our heritage. By identifying and promoting a unique sense of place that is Waterford it stimulates pride in maintaining that resource and stimulates interest in visitors and investors in exploring the city and county.
This is a five year plan published in a year that sees the opening of the Waterford Greenway, the upgrade of St. Declan’s Way, the launch of Ireland 2040- A National Planning Framework, the completion of the third National Biodiversity Plan and the delivery of the Creative Ireland Programme. In projects and policy the way is paved for an increased engagement with all aspects of our local heritage. I look forward to the delivery of this plan and its aims of increased community collaboration in conserving and engaging with heritage across Waterford City and County. There is a lot to be gained from a strategic and co-ordinated approach as this plan sets out to do and I wish the Waterford Heritage Forum well in their efforts.
Cllr. Adam Wyse, Mayor Waterford City and County Council 2016-2017

Preamble
1.1 RATIONALE
The preparation of a local heritage plan and establishment of a local heritage forum became part of Government policy in the National Heritage Plan (NHP) of 2002. The Heritage Council subsequently published guidelines on preparation of Local Heritage Plans in 2003. A priority of Culture 2025-Éire Ildánach A Framework Policy (2016) is to update the National Heritage Plan to identify priority actions in the heritage area.
The Heritage Plan is important because it sets out the priorities for Heritage in Waterford over the next 5 years and is a cross agency plan with input from as wide a sector as possible who are involved in heritage projects, policy and work programmes across the city and county along with an extensive public consultation process. It is also important because it sets the framework for the Heritage Council allocation that we apply for through the annual Heritage Plan Fund.
1.2 HERITAGE AND THE COMMUNITY
In 2016, Waterford City and County commemorated the centenary of the 1916 Rising through an events programme involving seven strands; Ceremonial, Historical Reflection, Youth and Imagination, Cultural Expression, The Living Language, Community Participation and Global Diaspora. Particularly heartening was the level of interest and support from community groups across Waterford in all aspects of the events programme. That local communities know best and take pride in their local heritage is without doubt. That they are best placed (with support and partnerships) to promote care, conservation and engagement with that heritage is verified by a number of key projects such as the Adopt a Monument Scheme (Gallows Hill, Dungarvan and Round Hill, Lismore 2016 ), Graveyard recording and cleanups (Drumcannon, Hackettstown), Heritage Towns (Lismore), Native Woodland Scheme (Dunmore East Woods and Park Trust ) and River Enhancement projects (Friends of St. John’s River). Interest in practical wildlife and heritage surveys was demonstrated by enthusiastic community participation in projects such as the Mammals in a Sustainable Environment (MISE 2011-2015) and the Coastal Audit of Waterford Estuary (FLAG 2014). Fenor Bog is one of the few community owned nature reserves in Ireland. The Bilberry Goats associated with Bilberry Rock are a unique feature of Waterford’s mammal population.
Another indicator of the increasing interest in heritage amongst the wider public has been expanding participation in Heritage Week events over the past 5 years. With a network of around 10 local history groups, 20 Tidy Towns Groups and a range of environmental and wildlife groups there is a strong community base across Waterford for supporting local heritage projects. It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to continue support of Community Heritage and Citizen Science Projects working with local groups on the ground.

1.3 HERITAGE AND QUALITY OF LIFE
In our increasingly sedentary and screen filled lifestyles there is an innate need to escape to the outdoors and engage with the landscape and environment. People actively seek out a place and space for reflection and quiet meditation. There has been a renewed appreciation and interest in ancient walkways and sites such as Pilgrim Paths and Holy Wells. The existence of these sites can claim a continuity from pre-Christian times to the present day. Revisiting and engaging with our heritage sites renews our sense of place and grounds us amidst our busy lifestyles.
The Waterford Greenway- Rian Glas na nDéise is a significant development for quality of life in Waterford. Not only does it enable walking and cycling in a traffic free environment but allows travel through a historical timeline from early Christian, Viking, Medieval, Industrial and 20th Century heritage sites along with appreciating notable geological and wildlife areas such as the River Suir SAC, Comeragh Mountains SAC and Dungarvan Bay SPA.
Engaging with the diversity of heritage along the Greenway, along St. Declan’s Way, our waterways or along our many walking trails enhances the sensory, mental and spiritual experience of being outdoors. There is now an established recognition that the benefits provided by our heritage sites are a form of natural capital which is to be valued as part of our national assets register. It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to promote public engagement with heritage and enhancement of our natural capital as a fundamental requirement for maintaining quality of life.
1.4 HERITAGE TOURISM
In August 2016, the House of Waterford Crystal welcomed its 1millionth visitor since it opened in June 2010. Waterford’s industrial heritage of glass making is the core of a rich visitor experience to Waterford’s Viking Triangle that includes Reginald’s Tower, the 18th Century Bishop’s Palace and the award winning Medieval Museum. The three buildings, now a trinity of museums all celebrate Waterford’s rich and diverse heritage. Development of the Viking Triangle acknowledges the foundations of Waterford as Ireland’s oldest city and recognises the role of heritage in urban regeneration and economic growth. The City’s built heritage and archaeology offer further potential for living history projects and complementing public realm enhancement works. Outside of Waterford City, the Waterford Garden Trail has opened up the rich heritage of great houses, landscape demesnes and gardens that can be enjoyed from Waterford City to the Suir and Blackwater Valleys. Waterford has the benefit of a UNESCO designated Geopark- one of only three geoparks on the island of Ireland. The diverse festival offering promoting Waterford’s culture and heritage is a firm base to attract more visitors to the county while national initiatives such as Ireland’s Ancient East offer opportunities for more sites to be made visitor-ready. It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to promote sustainable heritage tourism across Waterford City and County.

1.5 HERITAGE- LEARNING, EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Lifelong learning is an established aspect of modern life and shown to contribute to positive mental well being. As with other subject areas there are several opportunities for increased learning and education in heritage. Understanding leads to appreciation and care for conservation. Waterford has the benefit of heritage education through a diversity of courses and centres from the Copper Coast Geo-Parks-Education Programme, Heritage in Schools Scheme, Dunhill Multi-Education Centre’s Tourism Trail and Smart Media Course, WIT courses in Arts and Heritage Management and Applied Conservation Skills. Living history experiences have been provided through events such as the Waterford Revolutionary Roadshow, Dungarvan 800 and Go Biking with a Viking. There is great potential for development of local heritage enterprises such as guided tours on archaeology, geology and wildlife along with training schemes for developing traditional skills in building conservation, wildlife management, control of invasive species and best practice in management of historic graveyards. There are opportunities for developing volunteering networks and life skills in care and conservation of local heritage. It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to promote lifelong learning, training and education in heritage research, management and conservation.
1.6 HERITAGE AND THE DIGITAL AGE
Since publication of the previous heritage plans for Waterford City and County there have been rapid developments in technology and in how people communicate and access information. This provides great opportunities for both disseminating information on Waterford’s heritage and communicating with new and wider audiences. The Heritage Council’s Heritage Maps viewer, the National Biodiversity Data Centre’s records system, ESRI based mapping used by the NPWS, Buildings of Ireland, GSI and NMS websites all make finding out about local heritage so much easier. At a local level, GIS story maps on the Waterford Greenway ,Viking Triangle and the WCCC Cultural Services Portal provide virtual access to the diversity of Waterford’s heritage. It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to promote access to heritage information and communicate to new and wider audiences through the range of available digital media.
1.7 HERITAGE AND FUNDING
Delivery of the Heritage Plan is facilitated by an annual funding allocation from the Heritage Council in the range of €25-30,000 and co-funded by Waterford City and County Council. Heritage Project spend benefits the local economy through use of conference facilities, graphic design and print, transport, media, pr and heritage consultancy services. A number of funding sources are available for heritage led projects including INTERREG, DAHRRGA and DHPCLG.
Rural Development Programme (LEADER) 2014-2020
Waterford Leader Partnership CLG are responsible for delivering the LEADER Rural Development Programme worth €7.5 million to County Waterford. The LEADER
7 programme outlines a series of key themes and sub-themes that will form the basis of LEADER activities in Co. Waterford. These include rural tourism, protection of local biodiversity, rural towns and protection of water resources.
It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to support heritage led projects through the Waterford LEADER Programme and access other available funding sources for the promotion, conservation and management of Waterford’s heritage.
1.8 THE NATIONAL CONTEXT
Archaeology 2025
Archaeology 2025 is a 10 year strategy which will guide the future development of Irish archaeology. The strategy aims to raise awareness of the value of archaeology and recognises that 3D modelling, digital archiving and community archaeology are changing the landscapes of how archaeological investigations are conducted. The Strategy is being developed by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) Standing Committee on Archaeology, working in partnership with the Discovery Programme.
Clár Éire Ildánach Creative Ireland Programme 2017-2022
Creative Ireland is the Government’s Legacy Programme for Ireland 2016 – a five-year initiative, from 2017 to 2022, which places creativity at the centre of public policy. The programme is based around five pillars including promotion of creativity and the community with key involvement from local authorities. Each local authority will be asked to develop a Culture and Creativity Plan, reflecting the overall structure and aims of the national strategy for culture and creativity. A dedicated budget will be allocated to each Local Authority with the primary objective of citizen engagement with their Culture and Creativity Plans.
Culture 2025
Culture 2025 is a framework policy published by the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs in 2016. The policy is underpinned by a commitment to increase resources for arts and heritage and to improve funding structures for investment in national and local services. The pillars of the framework policy include; seeing collaboration as the new norm; celebrating our cultural heritage and traditions and responding to the digital age. Priorities of the policy include publication of the new National Biodiversity Action Plan, updating of the National Heritage Plan, policies and supports that protect built heritage , increased investment in the Irish language and boost existing initiatives with new town and village renewal schemes and an expanded Historic Towns initiative.
8
National Biodiversity Plan 2017-2022 The third National Biodiversity Plan builds upon the previous two plans with the following objectives; Maintain biodiversity in the decision making process across all sectors. Substantially strengthen the knowledge base for conservation management and sustainable use of biodiversity. Increase awareness and appreciation of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Conserve and restore biodiversity and ecosystem services in the wider countryside and the marine environment. Expand and improve on the management of protected areas and legally protected species. Strengthen international governance for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Waters and Communities
The establishment of local authority Waters and Communities Offices in 2016 is a new approach to public participation in the management of our natural waters and delivery of the Water Framework Directive. It recognises the value of local partnerships in the management of local waterways and offers advice on technical issues and funding opportunities for community waterway projects. There is great potential for such projects to enhance the water quality, habitat value and recreational use of Waterford’s many waterways.
Waterford Local Economic and Community Plan 2015-2020
The Waterford LECP is a five year plan directing support and enhancement of Waterford’s economy and community and contains many heritage based actions relating to heritage tourism, urban regeneration, coastal and marine and town and village renewal. There is scope for project linkages between the LECP and Heritage Plan.
It is a key tenet of the Waterford Heritage Plan to support national policy and initiatives such as Archaeology 2025, Creative Ireland Programme, Culture 2025, the National Biodiversity Plan 2017-2022, the Waterford LECP and Water and Communities.
